    So Badger crossed the rainbow bridge tonight.

    I'm really torn up right now.
    But I'll post up more pictures as I can in this thread.

    Sad to have to read this.
    I understand where you are coming from.
    Not much to say knowing that words can't say enough.
    Just keep the good times and memories at the front of the line.

    Keeping you on my thoughts.

    Not so great, but we'll endure this. Thanks everyone.

    Hayden is a little confused, wondering where big brother Badger is.

    Sorry for your loss. That's got to be the only downside to having a dog. All those years of unconditional love and devotion, and it's an absolute tragedy we can't keep them here with us long enough.

    Never easy saying goodbye to a family friend. Hope you can remember the good times and let the new pup help you get thru the grief.
